Jihadi attack on Hindu man for talking to Muslim woman in Mangaluru.

Police arrested six, court released all….

B Upendran | HENB | Mangaluru | Aug 2, 2018:: In a case of moral policing, a gang of eight to ten Muslim men attacked a man from Hindu community in Bantwal here on Sunday afternoon.

Police said the victim Suresh, a resident of Farangipete has been admitted to the government hospital in Puttur.

According to police, around 3 pm on July 29th, the gang saw Suresh talking to a burkha-clad woman near the Farangipete bus stand and took offence to it. Police said Suresh, who was en route to Mangaluru from Bantwal, bumped into the woman he was acquainted with. Hence, he stopped by and started a conversation with her.

After the chat, as turned on the car and moved ahead, but the gang waylaid him and launched an attack in addition to hurling abuses for talking to the Muslim woman.

Police from Bantwal Rural station have recorded the statement of Suresh and registered a case under IPC Sections 144, 323, 504 r/w 149.

Police said that they had definite information on the identity of the accused and they arrested the accused immediately.

Sources said that the brother of the victim is also working in Mangaluru Police and the police took the action hectically.

Though the victim Suresh was released from Hospital later, police did not divulge about the arrested persons on the incident. Further Police action was not disclosed in details when our HENB Mangaluru representative wanted to know this matter from police authority.

When Bantwal Rural Police Station Sub Inspector Prasanna M S (Mob. 9480805368) was contacted over telephone, he told HENB, six persons were arrested from the spot and produced to the court of law whereform the accused got bail by court order in the very next day. “The scuffle was not a big at all. Police reached the spot within couple of minutes and took strong action,” Prasanna told HENB.

But, think the situation…. One Muslim man was thrashed by some Hindu young men as the Muslim man talked with a Hindu girl. And that was poured in the media and protests raised from Muslim society. Just imagine.

But, as the situation is quite opposite, now no pseudo-secular or media channel will come out to support the victim, as he is Hindu. Media, Police, intellectuals just likely to deny, ignore or to suppress it. If same thing would have happened with a Muslim or Christian man, then there would have been lot of cry about ‘increasing intolerance’, ‘moral policing by Hindus’, ‘radical Hindu groups’, ‘minorities in danger’ and so on.
